Upgrading awakening gems

At some point all players start stock Piling 2* the 3* awakening gems they literally can’t use. Then they eventually go into overflow and you end up selling them for gold before they expire. You can’t even use the for one sig level.
However I propose that awakening gems (class and generic) be able to be upgraded.

The cost? Aha. This is where other existing materials can be used/repurposed.
  • A full stack of 5 2* awakening gem (one class eg mutant) could be upgrade to a single 3* same class awakening gem by spend 9 same class mastery cores and 3 carb cores.
  • Similarly 5 3* awaken gems could be upgraded to 1 4* class gem. Cost 16 class cores and 4 carb cores
  • 5 4* awaken gem to 1 5* awaken gem. Cost 25 class cores and 5 carbs.
  • 5 5* gems to a 6*. Cost 36 class cores. 6 carbs.
  • Basically for class awaken gem upgrade. Full stack + square of next star up in class cores and just that many carb cores
Generic gems would cost different. Same carb value but instead of square of the next star, it requires the next star level only for each class. Eg 5 3* generic gem upgrade would cost 4 each of each class core.

This would enable beginner to medium players who start to stock up these gems at the 2* level to potentially awaken the 3* they need. Similarly for medium players they might be able to awaken the essential 4* before that hard dupe. The cost wouldn’t be as much as the 2500 4* crystal offer, but this way a player can cost what toon to awaken

More advanced players might even get to the point of stock piling 4* having no toons to awaken.

Given you can find or buy class cores this would leave the only real cost and revenue generation with the carb cores.

It would even be possible to upgrade a stack of 25 3* awakening gems to a single 5* awakening gem. It would be expensive but it could be done.

Just a suggestion.

Hope people like it.

    Just looking at my inventory of 2 and 3 star awakening gems...there is no way Kabam would do this. They still sell 4 star awakening gems at a somewhat premium price, and 5 star awakening gems are considered super-valuable. With what I have, and using your system, I would instantly have a 5* gem.

    To convert 25 3* awakening gems to a 5* awakening gem would cost
    5 x 16 class cores. + 25 classy cores = 105 class cores At 30 units per = 3150 units
    5 x 4 carb cores + 5 carb cores = 25 carb cores at 550 per = 13750 units
    Total = 16900 units to “buy” a class awakening gem

    I really think this should be a feature for almost all items. Combining the items to upgrade them rather than selling them (catalysts). It could probably work for upgrading a champs star level too. A 3* max champ should be able to be upgraded to a 4* champ with the right mats or items.

    Everything except this "Cost 16 class cores and 4 carb cores" because they're incredibly expensive and I still need them to finish my masteries. Some people have absolutely none of the masteries that require these.
